Early models of the solar system described the Earth as stationary at the center with celestial objects revolving around it in circular orbits. Ptolemy developed an influential geocentric model that explained observations using epicycles but was inaccurate. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model placing the Sun at the center. Kepler analyzed Brahe's precise observations of Mars to deduce its elliptical orbit and formulated his three laws of planetary motion, establishing the foundations of modern astronomy.

Johannes Kepler was a influential scientist/mathematician/astronomer in the Renaissance era and made many changes not only in the field of astronomy, but in mathethematics and optics as well.
Math is used in everything you see, including space. This presentation is about how mathematics were used in Kepler's Laws on Planetary Motion, plus how Gauss used those laws. This was made for The Cincinnati Observatory's annual ScopeOut event.

Copernicus and Galileo: A Scientific RevolutionTom Richey
These slides were designed to accompany a lecture on Copernicus and Galileo and their contributions to the development of heliocentric theory during the Scientific Revolution.
